The awakening

Rosalba Huérfano 1973 (San Cristóbal)



Waking up is like love,
floods you and fills you with hope,
everything makes sense, you feel
different and you observe the life in you.

Your steps rush to dance,
your ears do not stop listening in silence
the music that comes from the whole and from
 the nothing.

Your eyes do not stop admiring the beauty,
art placed in nature, you feel
lucky to be, to feel the oxygen
in your lungs and gratitude
manifest in your whole being.

Oh Lord Father thank you, for what
I am, from what I see, if I could always be like this, in a deep and constant
wake up.

I feel how my soul rejoices and a
 joy invades me, it seems strange but It's like that, I smile and dance again.

About this poem
